Fun fact: The Mets have now gone 10,000 innings without a walk.

Well, so far the pre-game hype about a pitching matchup wasn't overstated.

Two guys currently in the lineup with OPS over .610.

If a guy makes his only appearance after midnight in a West Coast game, pitching a pair of mop-up innings as the team sleepwalked to their sixth straight loss ... was he actually a Met? These is the question the legion of Joey Gerber fans are confronting as the Dodger series continues to unfold. Transactions, 4/14/2026 GOING COMING Cleared Waivers and Released Placed on 15-Day Injured List with Right Finger Blister Promoted from Syracuse Relief Pitchers Luis Garcia Joey Gerber Austin Warren R/R DoB: 1987-01-30 High Level: MLB (2026) R/R DoB: 1997-05-03 High Level: MLB (2026) R/R DoB: 1996-02-05 High Level: MLB (2025) Info has been sketchy about the Luis Garcia release, but it is terribly likely that there are two bits of information missing in between Cleared Waivers and Released — namely, Assigned to Syracuse and Refused Assignment. Luis and his shrubby, shrubby beard have 14 years of big league time, and likely has no desire to go down to Syracuse at 39, and so would rather go home and wait for a call from a big-league team that hasn't lost six in a row. If you missed Joey Gerber's high-leg-kicking Juan Marichal imitation of a Mets debut last night, you missed a minor treat (at the tale end of a really flat-tasting/low-cal meal of a game). Early speculation about his unexpected Injured List assignment recalled Billy Eppler's embarrassing disciplining for abuse of the Injured List. In favor of that notion is the head-scratching notion anybody would need 15 days to recover from blisters. Going up against that notion is that the Mets, despite their losing streak, don't exactly have a burned-out pen right now. Stepping in for Blister Boy is Austin Warren, who looked very impressive in pulling in 9 1/3 innings on the 2025 reliever carousel. Hopefully, he finds more opportunities than that in 2026.

The judges also would have accepted Tim Leary and Grant Roberts.

I don't like how McLean swings his leg to put body English on his breaking pitches. It could turn into a tip, it could lead to over-throwing, and it doesn't leave him in position to field.

Will Smith took his foot off the base while doing his dance. Stay with the tag, Mets.

Welcome to 2026, Francisco LIndor,

"Nolan McLean has been as special as any young pitcher the Mets have ever had." — Gary Cohen "Eh, let's just put that cheese back in the fridge." — Edgy MD

He blistered in the sun. His big hands got overexposed.

Brain thinking, right there.

Benge. The #9 guy is Benge. Some shit just went down in my house as I was posting. My apologies. I get distracted.

Well, he's not batting leadoff, but he sure is sneaking up the lineup. Or maybe that's just an illusion matter of perspective, and in actuality, several others are falling back while he stands still # NEW YORK POS. # LOS ANGELES POS. 1 Francisco Lindor (S) ss 1 Shohei Ohtani (L) dh 2 Luis Robert, Jr. (R) cf 2 Kyle Tucker (L) rf 3 Jorge Polanco (S) dh 3 Will Smith (R) c 4 Bo Bichette (R) 3b 4 Freddie Freeman (L) 1b 5 Francisco Alvarez (R) c 5 Teoscar Hernandez (R) lf 6 Brett Baty (L) rf 6 Max Muncy (L) 3b 7 Mark Vientos (R) 1b 7 Andy Pages (R) cf 8 Marcus Semien (R) 2b 8 Hyeseong Kim (L) ss 9 Carson Benge (L) rf 9 Alex Freeland (S) 2b The Only Nolan (R) sp Yoshinobu Yamamoto (R) sp

Well, I recommend a viewing. It is equal-parts Japanese and Hollywood in tone. It has some of the Tokyo metropolitan alienation themes of Lost in Translation, with less of the technological and pop-culture trappings people lose themselves in. I gave it four stars out of five. I might have given it 3 1/2 twenty years ago, but I am so disenchanted by contemporary films, that my standards have changed. These days, I tend to find I am in the hands of (a) AI, (b) corporate delusion trying to cluelessly clone other successful films without a clue how or why they worked, or (c) a charismatic-but-insane guy who talked a major studio out of their money so he could use it to take a giant hit on their lawn. But this felt like honest storytelling — with honest writers and actors and directors getting you from point A to point B with a nuance you almost forgot existed in films — and his has you predicting what happens next with only some confidence, while sometimes surprising you when you are dead-wrong.

Bohm has also dropped The Boras Corporation and gone back to his original agents.

This guy right here. Only way to catch the magic.

The curious thing is the utter lack of walks, or even deep counts. Last night, the only guys who seemed engaged over the course of an at-bat were Bichette and Vientos, and I'm not suggesting it was necessarily consistent over the course of the evening for either of them. They get a rare guy on in the ninth and Lindor (who needs a day off) went up there first-pitch swinging.

Over-swinging all night, and over-swinging ends it. Just a beautiful old-skool job by the Dodgers. Very embittering.

Amazingly, they pull Wrobleski after eight innings and 90 pitches. Baseball managers are crazy people. Tanner Scott in 66 is a living insult to Yasiel Pugh.

Looks like I've been alone on this train for at least four stops. One more chance to dent the scoreboard. It'd certainly be a moral victory just to get Edwin up.

This guy only has two strikeouts.

Number 1299 Joey Gerber KILLING it with his leg kick as he debuts with a strikeout of Kyle Tucker. Also sporting some thunderdimples.

Welcome, Joey Gerber!! Look't that kick!
